Demolition Planned for Three Downtown Brooklyn Storefronts

Three storefronts at 8-16 Nevins Street in Downtown Brooklyn will meet the wrecking ball to make way for a 28-story tower with a cutout and LED lights. Demolition applications were filed last week to knock down the three two- and three-story buildings at 8, 12 and 14 Nevins.

Developer Bushburg Properties is building the 124,287-square-foot building, which will house 149 apartments, as well as some affordable units, as we reported earlier. Amenities will include a rooftop lounge, a gym, and a mesh-clad metal bulkhead that will light up with LEDs at night.

The 318-foot-tall highrise will also have 6,440 square feet of ground floor retail. Architects Stephen B Jacobs Group are designing the project. Bushburg snagged the properties between Fulton and Livingston last September for $16,690,050, according to public records.
